Well, in 1987, I took a Biology mid-term, having gone to few of the classes. My grade was a 4. Out of a hundred. In one area of the test, the grader gave me n bonus points for "creativity," (I'd drawn a cartoon), but then took away those same n points, for "cluelessness."posted by not_on_display at 7:43 PM on May 26, 2010
